Repeat a task
Daily, weekly on chosen days, or monthly, a repeating task is one card that rolls forward as you complete it.

Or type it while capturing: water plants every mon and thu, stretch daily, pay rent monthly, review notes every 3 days.
The three rule types
| Type | Options |
|---|---|
| Daily | Every 1–365 days |
| Weekly | Any combination of weekdays (at least one) |
| Monthly | A day of the month, 1–31 |
What completing one does
A repeating task is a single card, not a pre-generated pile. When you complete it, two things happen:
- 1A finished copy is written to Done today and your Log, so your history stays honest.
- 2The card itself rolls forward to the next occurrence, with the star cleared, the carry count reset, and every step unticked for a fresh round.
You'll see a small confirmation: ↻ Next: Thursday.
Missing one
In the morning sweep, repeating tasks get their own options: Today, Did it, and Skip. Skip jumps to the next occurrence with no penalty, and crucially, *Let go* and *Someday* aren't offered, so a bad week can't silently delete a habit.
To end a series for good, delete the task from its ⋯ menu or the editor, or set Repeat back to Never.
